Sources say the doorman of her building on West 47th Street in New York City called the police after witnessing Bynes smoking marijuana in her lobby. Officers arrived to a “strong” smell of marijuana outside Bynes apartment.
Police caught sight of a bong inside Byne’s apartment just before she allegedly grabbed the paraphernalia and chucked it out the window.

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
